Traditional Reading Lamps

When settling down to read your favorite book, the last thing you want to worry about is eye strain. These traditional reading lamps are specially designed to make it easier to read.

One of the most important factors in choosing a reading lamp is the spectrum of light. Typically, lights that are closest in spectrum to sunlight are the easiest on your eyes. Make sure it is bright enough for you as well! Digging its roots down into a variety of European and American styles, traditional reading lamps are a timeless representation of a bygone era. Traditonal reading lamps were popular fashion all over the world. Often relatively plain, traditional lighting is a great choice to people of classic tastes.

The second most important factor is positioning. It doesn't do you any good to have the right light if your head is constantly casting a shadow. Make sure your floor lamp is tall enough to shine over your shoulder, or position your table lamp properly to shine right where you need it. Many reading lamps come with an adjustable arm to obtain the ideal angle. If you use an electronic reader, you may want to position the lamp so that it avoids shining directly on the screen to avoid glare.

Reading lamps are an essential companion for the avid reader and diligent student. It can be difficult to find the perfect place which provides adequate light to read by, day or night. These lamps put the light right where you want, inviting long spells of getting lost in a great story or expanding knowledge.
